The U.S. Air Force would like to buy new aerial refueling tankers - at about twice the currently projected rate, a top service official said Tuesday [25 Sep 2007]. The Air Force would like to buy 26 new refueling tankers a year once the winning bidder's production facilities are capable of turning them out, up from a currently planned maximum of 12 or 14 a year.
The Air Force is also keen to acquire Lockheed Martin radar-evading F-35 fighter jets at about twice the currently planned maximum rate of 48 a year, said Lt. Gen. Ray Johns, deputy chief of staff for strategic plans and programs. He said the Air Force remained keen to buy all of the 381 Lockheed Martin F-22A fighter jets it has said it needs, up from 183 now projected by the Defense Department.
- Let's see. They're ordering twice the tankers and twice the jet fighters compared to what was earlier planned. The taps are on full force, and they are going to be opened twice as big. Jim Puplava is right, it will be fiscal stimulus and reflation from this point on.
It's great to be part of an organization devoted to supplying the armed forces with what they need. We never forget who we're working for.
